The restaurant seats approximately 120 guests inside and up to 40 on the terrace outside. Open from 11am until late, Botswana Butchery is the perfect option for an exciting new dining experience.

Visited with a group of colleagues. There was a large table set for us all upstairs in the mezzanine floor. Lovely layout and amazing view over looking the water. The service was impeccable, our lovely waiter Mehul was very attentive and polite and with great knowledge of the dishes in order to help us make our mind. The steak was cooked to perfection. Thanks so much Botswana, great place to dine

After hearing rave reviews, we decided it was a must to eat here & I’m glad we did. We were escorted to our table & drinks soon began to flow. Having started with cocktails, we decided to forego the extensive wine list (any wine lover would be sure to get a great drop). We ordered and our starters arrived. As only a couple of us were having starters, the others at the table looked on as we dove knife & fork first into scallops & other delicious morsels. Our mains arrived a short time after our plates were collected & the wagyu brisket was a definite hit.

The menu had no discernible theme, however the meals that were chosen & subsequently devoured were delicious & filling.

The staff were attentive & we enjoyed our experience, except being seated so close to the rear door that every-time it was opened we had a gust of frigid air hit us. Perhaps this was a ploy for our group to buy more drinks, if so it worked!

All in all it was a pleasurable experience & we will be back the next time we visit Auckland!

Booked a large table. The staff are fantastic and a credit to the restaurant. The location is great and the variety of drinks is very good. The food though was average. To order and pay for a steak, then a sauce and then potatoes is very expensive at $68.50. Please review your menu and pricing.

Botswana Butchery in Queenstown is one of my all time favourite restaurants and I couldn’t wait to try the Auckland restaurant. They are both charming in their own ways and the food was to die for! Completely lived up to my expectations. The Auckland location is in a charming old building near the ferry terminal on the waterfront.

The service, food and atmosphere were both 5 stars. The meat was tender and juicy and cooked to perfection. Expect to spend around $100-$150 for 2 people but the quality of the meat is well worth it! Thanks Botswana Butchery for another amazing meal
